What types of disabled parking permits are there?

There are three different types of disabled parking permits: 

Driver card 

You are disabled and drive a vehicle yourself. For example, a car (you must have a B driving license), a microcar (you must have an AM driving license), or a Canta. The letter B is on this card. The card is not tied to a license plate but to you as a person. You can use the card for any vehicle. 

Passenger card 

You have a disability but do not drive a vehicle yourself, and you are always dependent on the driver's assistance from door to door. The card displays the letter P. The card is not linked to a specific license plate but is assigned to you as an individual. If you are not a passenger, this card may not be used. 

Combined map 

You permanently use a wheelchair and/or have another serious physical disability that makes walking difficult. The combination card is issued in exceptional cases. The card is personal and not license plate related, so it can be used for any car.
